Pajama Squadron: 1942
May 1942. Parris Island, South Carolina. "Instructors at leisure after a full day at the U.S. Marine Corps glider detachment training camp." From photos by Alfred Palmer and Pat Terry for the Office of War Information. View full size.
Young Sailors
Both are navy officers. The t-shirted officer is a Ltjg, as determined by the shoulder board on his jacket. The dark tie on the other officer is for the navy khaki uniform. Marines would have a khaki tie with their khaki or green uniforms.
Rise and Shine
Both these men are officers, the one on the bed appears to be a Naval Lieutenant, the one with the unshined shoes is either a Marine 1st or 2d Lieutenant or Naval Lieutenant JG or Ensign. Based on the shoe condition, I would say both are in the Navy.
Hair today, gone tomorrow
Quite a bit of hair for Marines.
I have a picture of my dad in Camp Pendleton in 1943, with his buddy. The note on the back says "Nick, after a short haircut" with my dad rubbing the top of Nick's head. It is not a short haircut by the standards of the time, and it is far far from a short haircut by today's Marine standard.
